Enjoy predicting your own weather forecasts, so you don’t have to rely on the weatherman on TV! How this Storm Glass actually works remains a mystery, but theories show electromagnetic changes in weather patterns.

When the left side of the storm glass goes higher than the right, then this indicates that the weather will be sunny. When it is lower than the right side, it means that it will be a wet day. This is a great novelty item to have at home or at the office!

Invented in the mid-1700s. and soon made its way onto ships and harbors around Europe to help give predictions of approaching bad weather. It gained the most fame through Admiral FitzRoy who used a Storm Glass on the voyage during which he and Darwin traveled to the Galapagos Islands.

The appearance of the liquid as it transforms from clear to cloudy to crystal flakes predicts whether the weather will be clear, cloudy, or filled with thunderstorms. The cool new and modern Storm Glass is a natural way to forecast the weather. The sealed glass container holds a mixture of distilled water and camphor that changes in appearance based on forthcoming weather conditions.
